I'm on the chemical T shirt tour of Switzerland next week, visiting places with my T shirt, getting thrown out, arrested etc. But, on Wednesday 5th at about 09:45 to 10:00 CET (08:45 - 09:00 GMT) I will appearing on the web cam at St Mortizer See.

The top left camera picture, all being well I'll be the bright yellow blob just to the of the trees, could some kind soul get a screen capture of the incident for me for posterity please? The other pictures I'll post on my return in just over a weeks time.

What a riot - it sounds like the garden gnome world tour only with chemical orphanage t-shirts! Laughing

Unfortunately, because my internet connection is not the most reliable ( Evil or Very Mad

) I'm probably not the best one to help you with the screen shot. I'll certainly try if I'm online and at the time, but hopefully there is someone else who can make a more dependable commitment. I can't wait to see the yellow blob!

Have a great time in Switzerland, I look forward to seeing your pictures!

I'll give it a go - by CET I take it you mean local time - but you might have to hang around a bit cos I just looked and it is 30 mins out of date. Do you know how often it updates?

Looks like the camera only updates on the hour and half hour though

Welcome back freddie.....we saw you! Laughing

OK, so the complete story.
I was born in China, or possibly Taiwan, and was shipped out to Nigeria along with a bunch of mates where we got these nifty Kenyscot Foundation tattoos.
Not long after we all got sent out to America where we split up, as luck would have it, I got to go to the UK, where, apart from a nice clean, warm shelf, I got stuck with a geek.
One good thing was that I do get to travel. Recently we went out to Switzerland by way of London City airport.

We relieved the boredom of waiting by setting a trap to catch a mod, it didn't work.

So all we had to do was lounge around waiting for the flight.

London City Airport is pretty small. The method of take off is entertaining, the pilot sits at the end of the runway, winds the engines up to full thrutch, lets off the hand brake, and whooooosh! We went.
At the other end it's a short train trip into Zurich, I blagged 2 seats.

Where we connected with our train to where we were staying, Geek got the bed by the door, I took the one with the view.

The aim of the trip was to appear at a few famous places, thanks to Nanny Ogg doing a screen capture, here's me at St Moritz (I'm the yellow blob on the board)

I also wanted to go see the World Economic Forum people and give them a piece of my mind, sadly, they were not in, so I said I would wait

This one is for Roy Cropper, a narrow gauge steam powered rotary snow blower, it's what the geek came out here to see.

Our next port of call was Arosa, I couldn't help thinking that this would be a good place to organise a Lad's long jump competition.

or maybe a pogo stick championship?

Thusis, now she was a cold one....

Must have been a language problem, she didn't say a word.

To finish off, a visit to the Landwasser viaduct.

Now that's pretty.

The geek in action.
(and me dumped on the platform!!!)

I'll get him back for that!

Some of the best vacation photos I've seen - thanks for sharing, freddie! I think the one with the statue is my favorite. Very Happy

Only now I'm soooo0000 tempted to send the pictures to Mr. Scot. Maybe say they were received from one of our Swiss benefactors who bought the shirt at silent auction.... hmmmmm, that might just work? Laughing
